I took this photo many years ago and never cared for the straight image as it was taken around noon when the sun was too bright. I finally decided to use some filters on it and came up with this version.

Critiques and comments are very welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking!

This has a nice, peaceful look about it. I like that you resisted the temptation to oversaturate the colors, they look very natural.

Very beautiful scene, Carol! You did a nice job with the filters. The colors are beautiful. The only part that shows the bright noonday sun is the white jacket on one of the people in the boat. You might try burning that a little bit.

Love the light and the vibrant colour, Carol. The reflections have come out especially well, fading beautifully into the bright blue of the water. Very nicely composed image too !

Your processing worked well, Carol, I really like this. You removed any hint of harsh light.
